    I miss you grandpa so much. Especially our little car talks and your hand squeezes. Nobody’s hand squeezes or bear hugs were like yours. I miss them everyday . It’s easy to notice the impact on the family and how much you touched and helped everybody… Now that your gone it’s easier to notice how different things are. There still so much that still lingers of you… I feel you with me but your absence of your true presence is definitely one that I can’t ever forget. It wraps me like the hugs you gave… Even though your smell fades your things slowly get packed away or shared between the family … You’ll always be here in a different way… I just wish it was the way we all wanted … I love you now and always .

    The one person I could always count on no matter what kind of predicament I got myself into..
    Your kindness, compassion, and patience are unmatched in todays society. We love you and miss you so much Grandpa!!! Our lives will never be the same without you. You truly were the epitome of selflessness; If I’m half the man you were I’ll be doing something right..
    Love, Josh, Shawna, and Isabel Rees.

    You had a smile for everyone and you never meet a stranger. You had a loving heart and we’re always there if someone needed help. I was proud to call you my brother. Till we meet again.
    Love Dorothy ????
